Presents good ideas for teaching scared beginners (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gifts

'presents' is the definition.
(I know this)

'good ideas for teaching scared beginners' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'beginners' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'ideas for teaching scared' is 'ifts'.
'g'+'ifts'='GIFTS'

(Other definitions for gifts that I've seen before include "Donations" , "Presents or natural talents" , "Attributes" , "Offerings" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
